[QUOTE="Ludan, post: 9098762, member: 74120"] Right ok thanks for your advice. I assumed there would probably be more to it. In our situation, if going down the route of sfi and fitting it into our farm business, my main retained asset would likely be the sheep flock ideally. Our arable could be put into something like the herbal leys as a break crop and if for 3 years, might aswell be done organically if extra money available. I won’t be applying fert or spraying anyway and would not have a problem with inspections. With current arable input’s being so expensive, and grain price where it was 12-15 years ago I don’t see the point in struggling to make that pay. And the sfi & organic payment would far exceed the current margin from cereals, plus we’d have a low input sheep crop on top. So it’s a route I’m quite keen on exploring for our farm. We have a bit of mid tier on a field already so can probably extend on that. [/QUOTE]
